Politics / Re: The Stunning Hypocrisy Of Twitter And Facebook by HarryDuce(m): 8:02pm On Jan 08, 2021 |
When it comes to Nigeria, there is no correlation. Sars operatives were extra judicial in their affairs. What is fake news about that? Donald Trump inciting his supporters to "not be weak" and his supporters doing the will of their master by invading the capitol while in session is what? How many end sars protesters invaded Aso rock? The closest comparison would be the BLM protests. But no, you're comparing apples to onions. 6 Likes |

Rosskii:The protesters demand five things to be addressed not just end "sars". Even the presidency acknowledges as much. Anyway, nothing will work without addressing the crucial issues. I feel the government needs to be kept in their toes or else they'll slack as usual. That they have banned sars will not prevent a regular constable from demanding bribes. People protesting for entirely different purposes are just making use of opportunity. It was inevitable. |

Rosskii:This is 2019 news. Nothing we're not familiar with. What about the police force as a whole? Very dysfunctional. What has been done besides giving empty speeches? Bills? Laws? Codes? |

Rosskii:Give the government time and space to make oppressive laws and hide pocket filling loopholes you mean? The government has not done anything concrete so far to meet the demands of the protesters. We haven't seen any progressive laws or bills on the issue --very important. Telling us, "we will" is for the gullible to be deceived. It's sad people are losing steam already; giving avenue for unfocused individuals. But that's to be expected. |

Politics / Re: Is Lagos Worth The Hype? by HarryDuce(m): 6:02pm On Sep 14, 2020 |
No. But we've got to hype something. Seeing as there's no where else close to the level of Lagos, then Lagos it is! |

Despite the media clout on the issue, the riverine tribes do no trust themselves - especially the Kalabaris. Besides, there are other tribes in Rivers state. |
Nairaland / General / Re: How Many Of You Hunted For This Insect?? by HarryDuce(m): 2:13pm On Sep 05, 2020 |
Although I didn't hunt them, I made sure to provide them easy meals occasionally. It was always intriguing to watch them decapitate their prey. |
Culture / Re: About The Surnames Of Rivers State Indigenes by HarryDuce(m): 10:44am On Sep 05, 2020 |
It was/is more a thing of prestige --to distinguish themselves from their neighbours-- and for easy pronunciation on the path of the Europeans after centuries of close interactions. They didn't "lose" their culture like some ignoramuses claim. They bear European surnames alongside their native names. For every Horsfall, Lawson, Hart, Tariah, Pepple, Bobmanuel, Quaker, Douglas, Braide, David West, Princewill, Jackreece, Jack-Rich, Briggs, you have; Amachree, Dagogo, Igoniwari, Alalibo, Origoni, Batubo, Kalio, Diepreye, Okilo, Ikoli, Dokubo, Omubo, Darego, Owunari, Idoniboye-Obu, Ibulubo, Ibama and many more . 12 Likes 1 Share |

RuudVanNisteroy:Well, what you consider lies is up to you. There is nothing peculiar about what the politicians in Rivers state are doing. It is the same story nation wide - federal and state governments have been robbing the country blind for over half a century. Has Nigeria used her oil wealth sanely? It's a very simple thing. |

Also, some of them are associated with specific geographical locations. The bison, alligator and jaguar are new world animals: they're found in the wild exclusively in the Americas. The alligator being an exception can be found exclusively in the US and also in China. There are no alligators in Africa. The leopard, crocodile and Cape buffalo are old world animals; Cape buffalos roam the continent of Africa while the leopard and crocodile can be found both in Africa, Asia and Australia. 6 Likes |
Politics / Re: Rivers People Don't Travel: An Erroneous Notion by HarryDuce(m): 1:21pm On Aug 03, 2020 |
mrvitalis:Well, if it's not for the purpose of vacationing (which many Rivers indigenes do), what's the point of relocating --or travelling-- if there isn't much money to be made? Rivers people are not "40 million strong" like the Igbos or in the billions like the Chinese. I don't see why you'd expect them to leave their state in their numbers to go somewhere less prosperous. I could argue that the north is an upgrade to -- Kaduna and Kano at least-- Ebonyi and Abia. |
Politics / Re: Rivers People Don't Travel: An Erroneous Notion by HarryDuce(m): 11:33am On Aug 03, 2020 |
lacasera14:It's very convenient for intellectually lazy people to make broad and hasty assumptions about a whole group of people like is the case with some Nigerians. You'll learn to ignore it. I've heard this "Rivers people don't travel" like forever. There are many Rivers indigenes in Lagos and Kaduna and Abuja, as well as neighbouring states like Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Travelling outside the country is also a given for many of them because... How many states can be regarded as an upgrade to Rivers State? |
Education / Re: Student Calls On Govt. To Reopen Schools After Seeing Fully Packed Viewingcenter by HarryDuce(m): 2:23pm On Jul 29, 2020 |
I don't really understand the comparisons. Churches and viewing centers are not mandatory social gatherings. If schools are opened, a student must go to school whether he or she likes it or not. There's no choice in the matter. Go to school, or fail. The fact that many people choose to disregard safety measures does not mean that the government should also impose disregard for safety on others. I understand the distrust though, but the process should not be rushed. 1 Like |
